The Patchouli Garden Blog

Here in Wisconsin, the temperature is starting to drop, the leaves are beginning to change and the days are becoming shorter. It's definitely getting us into that Autumn mood. So for this blog post, we thought we could share with you our collective favorites for the 2018 Fall Season! First up for our bath & body products, we have to choose our favorite brand new fragrance: Warm Patchouli Spice ! This fragrance is so warm and yummy! We carry this in lotion , shower gel , body spray , and perfume roll-on ! With the temperatures dropping and the damp days accumulating, we thought our next pick would be great to help you ward off any viruses and illnesses that come with the change of weather! So we picked, two NOW essential oils: Nature's Shield and Clear the Air . Nature's Shield consists of clove bud oil, organic lemon oil, cinnamon bark oil, eucalyptus oil, and organic rosemary. It's an uplifting and energizing aroma that freshens and cleanses the a

As many of you know, at Patchouli Garden, we offer over 35 scent options in perfume roll-ons and over 25 scent options in body sprays! Wow! :) However, we still get inquiries from customers on how they can create their own signature scents, or how they can make a certain fragrance in our perfume blends more dominant. We have an easy solution to that... Layer it! We offer many blends of Patchouli like Patchouli Clove , Patchouli Lavender , and Patchouli Sandalwood . We try to offer a good balance of each fragrance in our blends, but for those who like to have one scent a little more dominant then the others, the easiest solution is to layer that specific fragrance with our already made perfume blends. For our Patchouli lovers who like a strong patchouli scent with their blends, use our Patchouli roll-on or body spray first as a base scent, then layer your favorite blend by spraying it or rolling it on top. Good example of that is: our new scent Warm Patchouli Spice , has mor

There is an old saying that says, "Keep those with integrity and good values close to you, hold on to them, never let them go!" There is also though, another saying that says, "Do not hinder others from their success, just to satisfy your own selfish needs." Those are two hard lessons we have had to face here at Patchouli Garden this last week. We've had to say goodbye to one of own, Jackie. Jackie and her husband has had an amazing opportunity fall into their lap. This new opportunity is definitely a blessing for them and their future. The only catch is it takes them far away from us! So it is with bittersweet feelings that we have to say Goodbye! Jackie has been a staple to the company since she was in high school! Her personal touches are evident in almost all aspects of Patchouli Garden. She was one of the first smiling faces you saw when you came through that door. She was also the one who took most of the orders via telephone. If you are readi

First of all, What is CBD oil? What is all the hype about? CBD oil otherwise known as Cannabidiol oil is naturally found in hemp plants. It is the molecular property of the plant that has many health and wellness capabilities. It promotes medical benefits without any of the psychoactive or "buzz" effects many other drugs produce.  The benefits can range from: Anxiety and Stress relief Benefits Sleep Longevity Can Soothe Tremors and Improve Fine Motor Skills Helps Control Epileptic Seizures Treats PTSD Eases Aches and Pain Can Help Reduce Acne Can Benefit Rheumatoid arthritis Reduces Inflamation ETC. The list can go on. So what is the fuss about?   Let's talk legally.  In 2018 the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) released this statement:  " Products and materials that are made from the cannabis plant and which fall outside the CSA definition of marijuana are not controlled under the CSA. S

Part of "Patchouli Garden" that is evident in all of our products, is the creativity that comes with everything we do! From making scents, to creating candles and soaps, to graphic imaging on the labels, and to web design. Every aspect of this company has to allow creativity and has to be open to try new things! That being stated, we want to share with you some of our favorite scents that we like to mix up! Some of these happened into existence by accident and some of them on purpose! Either way, we wanted to give you more ways to enjoy our scents. Also if you have mixed any of our scents before, we'd love to hear from you! Please comment on this post, or on our Facebook Page , some of your favorite scents that you love to mix! The first one I'm going to show you happened by accident. After making some stock for inventory, we had some leftover sprays that weren't enough to fill a bottle, so these two scents were just thrown together into one bottle and the

Welcome to The Patchouli Garden Blog! I'd love to take this moment to rewind, breathe, and bring you back to the basics with us. A good way to start fresh, is to pull back the curtain and show you the faces behind Patchouli Garden. The heart, soul, and passion of this company. First, let me reintroduce you to our creative and passionate leader and owner, Lynda Dayton!                                                                                             Her creativity and personality is present in every aspect of this company. On Nov. 20th, 2000, she had very little money, zero retail experience, and no credit. It took all of her courage, to follow through on her lifelong dream. And through her pursuit, hard work and long hours, her dreams became a reality. As her business grew, she was soon able to hire help, create an online website, and start shipping her products all over the country. Through all her success, she has never wavered from her favorite principle,
